Why I went back for a GPR

November 6, 2022November 6, 2022 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

I was recently inducted as a Fellow in the American College of Dentists. At the annual ceremony, held in Houston, standing next to people who have 15, 20 or 30 years of work experience after dental school, I felt a little out of place. After all, at the time, I was only 4 years into… Continue reading Why I went back for a GPR

You CAN sit with us!

June 19, 2022June 19, 2022 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

Back in 2018, when I was just a fresh graduate, I had no plans of starting a practice, founding a 100 member+ national Study Club or applying for awards. I was yet to be involved in organized dentistry and write for the ADA New Dentist Now blog. I had not yet started my website or… Continue reading You CAN sit with us!

Lessons for someone in their 20s

June 14, 2022June 14, 2022 Sampada Deshpande2 Comments

As I look back over the last decade of my life and observe many personal and professional pains and wins, I wish to share what I’ve learned with other people, especially mentees. Not everyone wants or needs this advice. Most don’t even consider the idea that they may be making a bad decision that will… Continue reading Lessons for someone in their 20s

Leaning In with Sheryl Sandberg

March 2, 2022March 2, 2022 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

I recently re-read Sheryl Sandberg’s first book, ‘Lean In’ and found that it resonated with me just as much in 2022 then it had in 2015, when I last read it. For those of you haven’t read it yet, you are missing out on a wonderful and quick read. I was able to finish the… Continue reading Leaning In with Sheryl Sandberg

Why we give up

February 21, 2022February 21, 2022 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

About 6 months ago, I started figure skating again. This was after a gap of nearly 15 years. I never intended for the gap to be that long, but life got in the way, and I kept delaying going back to the rink. The truth is, I always had an excuse. ‘Work, the rink being… Continue reading Why we give up

One year in tech

February 3, 2022February 3, 2022 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

It was about a year after dental school that I realized how much I enjoyed business. I felt drawn to leadership roles and teaching when it involved the business side of dentistry. Students who had questions about their career options after school, were my favorite kind of mentees! It was in June of 2021 that… Continue reading One year in tech

Negotiation 101

January 4, 2022January 4, 2022 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

There are a lot of life skills that we were never taught in professional schools. Negotiating your pay, advocating for yourself in the workplace and networking with others, are just the tip of the iceberg. It takes the average professional, years to learn the above and make it a critical part of their toolbox. Even… Continue reading Negotiation 101

Self-advocacy

November 2, 2021November 2, 2021 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

It took me years to learn what career advocacy meant. As an immigrant, I spent the first several years in America, trying to ‘fit in’. I was quiet, often taking criticism personally, and afraid of sharing my gifts with others. I was reluctant at the thought of expanding my comfort zone. What does advocacy mean… Continue reading Self-advocacy

Writing and career advancement

September 17, 2021September 17, 2021 Sampada DeshpandeLeave a comment

I began writing when I was only 12 years old; just short stories and some really embarrassing poetry. The goal for writing at the time was to be published in the most important magazine of the 90’s. In the Middle East, for a third culture kid like myself, Young Times was the epitome of ‘cool’.… Continue reading Writing and career advancement
